To all whom it may concern:

A still further object in view is to provide an arrangement forindicating readily to a motor-man, engineer or other workman, the timeand place where he should be during workin hours, the structure beingsuch that a set o clock works may be used and fixed permanently in placeor an independent watch or other clock mechanism may be used.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a front view of an indicatordisclosing one embodiment of the invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view through Figure 1 approximately on line 2-2.

Figure 3 is a rear view of the structure shown in Figure 1.

' Figure 4 is a horizontal central sectional view through the structureshown in Figure 3, the watch being omitted.

Figure 5 is a detail fragmentary sectional view through Figure 4approximately on line 5-5.

Figure 6 is a rear View of the dial shown in Figure 1.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numeral, 1 indicates a bodywhich may be of wood or other desired material, said body being providedwith a chamber 2 merging into a notch 3 and having an opening orpassagewa 12' extending to the opposite side of the ody.

hanging shoulders 6 and 7 are provided for properly holding the card 5in the depresslon 4 without materially covering any part of the card. Aclamping screw 8 1s provided for firmly clamping the card against thebody 1 so as to prevent any accidental rotatron. This is necessary inorder that the vanous designations 9 on the card 5 may :11- ways remainat the same place and opposite the same numbers on the dial 10 of thewatch 11. It will be noted that twelve designations or pomts 9 areprovided but a greater or less number may be used without departing fromthe spirit of the invention.

When the device is used by anyone, as for instance, a motor-man on astreet car, a proper indicator will be provided which will not only showthe time of day but the points at which the car should be at certaintimes. In regard to the particular showing of Figure 1, it will be seenthat when the minute hand of the watch 11 is pointing at 3 on the watch,it will also point at the designation, 45th St. This means that the carshould be at 45th St. When the minute hand moves to the designation 4 onthe clock it also moves opposite the designation th St. By glancing atthe device the motor-man may readily see whether or not he is at theplace indicated by the minute hand and thereby knows whether or not heis on time.

The reverse side of card 5 is shown in Figure 6 so that when the carreaches the end of its travel the motor-man may remove the card and turnthe same over so that the device will properly indicate the location ofthe car at any time.

In the drawing a watch 11 has been shown but it will be evident thatpermanent clock mechanism may be provided in body 1 instead of thewatch. When the watch is used, a suitable cushion or pad 12 is providednear the opening 12' and the watch is pressed against this cushion by abacking plate 13 provided with suitable cushioning members 14. A spring15 is connected with the backing plate 13 and at 16 with the body 1. Aswinging stirrup 17 is provided opposite the connectin member 16 wherebythe spring 15 urges the acking plate 13 against the watch and pressesthe watch tightly against the pad In the drawin' the points orindications 9 have been provi ed to show a travel ofone hour for the carbut other rulings could be provided for showing two or more hours 4without changin the general ideaof provid and agalnst said annularcushioning member, a backing plate for holding said watch in saidchamber, an annular cushion member carried by said backing platepositioned to engage said Watch, aspring for resiliently holding saidbackin plate in position, a swinging latch for htfidlng said spring inan o erative position and a dial member carmed on the face of the bodyformed with in dicationsthereon designating points along a given route,said designations being arranged so that the hands of'the watch mustpass them as they rotata;
